Definitions
- Chemical-mechanical polishing composition comprising organic/inorganic composite particles
- the present invention relates to a chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) composition
- CMP chemical-mechanical polishing
- the present invention also relates to processes for the manufacture of a semiconductor device comprising chemical mechanical polishing of a substrate in the presence of a CMP composition according to the present invention.
- CMP chemical-mechanical polishing
- CMP chemical-mechanical polishing
- CMP utilizes the interplay of chemical and mechanical action to increase the planarity of the to-be-polished surfaces.
- Chemical as well as mechanical action is provided by a chemical-mechanical polishing composition, also referred to as a CMP composition or a CMP slurry. Polishing action is usually carried out by a polishing pad which is typically pressed onto the to-be-polished surface and mounted on a moving platen.
- a CMP composition has the consistency of a slurry.
- CMP composition and CMP slurry are used in a synonymous manner.
- CMP compositions comprising organic/inorganic composite particles are known e.g. from EP 1 088 869 A1 .
- Said document discloses different types of organic/inorganic composite particles, namely organic particles which are evenly coated with inorganic particles, composite particles wherein a polymer is adhered or bonded to inorganic particles, or composite particles wherein a polymer film is formed on the surface of inorganic particles.
- EP 1 333 476 A2 discloses CMP compositions comprising organic-inorganic composite particles which are assumed to be present in a state where one, two or more of the following features (i), (ii) and (iii) are combined, depending on the chemical nature, the particle diameter and the amount of the organic particle and the inorganic particle to be used:
- organic particles polymer particles
- inorganic particles e.g. silica
- silica particles on the surface of polymer particles by means of a polycondensate such as polysiloxane as a binder; or such that the functional groups of the silica particles, for example hydroxyl groups, are chemically bonded with functional groups of the polymer particles.
- a polycondensate such as polysiloxane as a binder
- state 2 a state that the organic particles have adhered as shell particles to the surfaces of core particles composed of the inorganic particles
- state 3 a state that the organic particle and inorganic particles have aggregated to each other without forming a clear core-shell structure.
- the inorganic particles may be in any state of primary particles (non-aggregated particles) and secondary particles (formed by aggregation of primary particles, or both particles may be mixed.
- the composite particles exist in a condition that a plurality of states are mixed.
- the state of the composite particles depends on the particle diameters and component proportions of the respective organic particles and inorganic particles forming the composite particles.
- states 1 and 2 are preferred according to US 2004/016201 1 A1 . No specific embodiment of particles existing in the above-defined state 3 is disclosed.
- CMP compositions comprising similar types of organic/inorganic composite particles are disclosed in US 2007/0049180 A1 and US 2008/0318427 A1 .
- One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) composition suitable for use in a process for the chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) of substrates used in the semiconductor industry, particularly for the chemical- mechanical polishing of substrates comprising a surface region or a layer consisting of copper or of a copper-based alloy.
- CMP chemical-mechanical polishing
- a soft pad Hardness Shore D ⁇ 30°
- CMP of copper conventionally used hard pad materials often cause defects such as micro-scratches. Especially very small chip features are at risk to get damaged by such hard pad material.
- feature size of ultra large scale integrated circuit develops into 22 nm and below defects of copper interconnects become more concerned. Therefore, the semiconductor industry is going for the application of softer pad materials in CMP of copper in order to eliminate the defects caused by hard pad materials.
- to achieve high planarization efficiency on soft pad is much more difficult than on conventional hard pad material.
- a related object of the invention is to provide a process for the manufacture of a semiconductor device comprising chemical mechanical polishing of a substrate, particularly of a substrate comprising a surface region or a layer consisting of copper or of a copper- based alloy.
- a further object of the invention is to provide organic/inorganic composite particles suitable for the use of abrasive particles for chemical-mechanical polishing of a substrate, particularly of a substrate comprising a surface region or a layer consisting of copper of a copper-based alloy.
